What is Gold Filled and why is it the next best thing to solid gold?

Gold Filled wears like solid gold because its outer surface is solid gold. It has been referred to as the "Gold of the Future" because it offers all the same physical characteristics as solid gold such as beauty, durability, and strength, but at a fraction of the cost.

Since the gold is on the outer surface area, it is nearly impossible to tell the difference between solid gold and Gold Filled, except when it comes to the cost!

How is Gold Filled Made? Gold filled is made by fusing a layer of Karat Gold to a suitable supporting metal (or alloy) using equipment that carefully controls pressure, heat, and time. The bond produced is a permanent one. ELECTROPLATING IS NOT A PART OF THIS PROCESS.

How long will Gold Filled jewelry last? The point to remember is that gold, along with its other unique qualities, is virtually indestructible. Since you are guaranteed a substantial layer of gold on your Gold Filled jewelry by law, with reasonable care it will last a lifetime.

Is Gold Filled jewelry "Costume Jewelry"? NO! It is not costume jewelry. The layer of gold in Gold Filled is substantially thicker than the traditional electroplated jewelry.

Gold Filled jewelry is fine jewelry that
never goes out of style and can be worn
beautifully with all tastes and preferences in fashion.
